Patriots Claim Second Consecutive Inter-Ac Title

PHILADELPHIA — Sophomore Isabelle Goldstein ’20 said that prior to running the 2017 Inter-Ac League Girls Cross Country Championship, the team was not sure if having their whole top squad back would be enough.

As it turns out, it was more than enough.

Germantown Academy repeated as Inter-Ac champions, placing first out of seven teams with a score of 34. William Penn Charter placed second with 42 points.

“I think they did amazingly well,” said GA head coach Judy Krouse 1760 following Monday’s meet at the Belmont Plateau in Fairmount Park. “We thought we had a chance to win, but I didn’t think it’d be by that wide a margin. We’ve had a lot of improvement over the course of the season. I don’t think I could be more proud of these girls.”
